Hey all. Anyone have any suggestions for moving eggs? Looks like the hubby and I will be moving our collection of 25+ snakes (and lizards...and cats...and dogs!! oh my!) sometime in May. Problem is...our 7 eggs will be on day 55 on May 20. I'm incubating at 88 degrees, so I expect they'll go a little beyond the expected 55-60 days but if all goes according to plan, that'll be smack dab in the middle of our move. We'll only be moving 2 or so hours away, so I won't need to keep them overnight or anything...
I'm thinking if I play my cards right (and save them for very last) I should be able to have them out of the incubator for only 4 hours or so (take them out, incubator in car (it'll have to lay on its side, so no chance of leaving them in it), drive, incubator into new house and give it a bit to come back up to temp and stabilize). I can use close-pins attached to the light diffuser to keep the eggs from rolling around...I'm just wondering what ya'lls suggestions on keeping them warm would be? Also, since I'm going substrate-less should I drain some of the water off of the vermiculite?
Also if you have any general advice or another method I'd be happy to entertain it.
Thanks all!
